Over in London, Wimbledon is well underway, and we—as per usual—are keeping our eyes trained on the stands for the finest celebrity fashions. (Hello, Olivia Rodrigo, Louis Partridge, and Cate Blanchett!) But this year, the court is rivaling the stands in terms of style.
Wimbledon is known to have the strictest player dress code amongst the Grand Slam tournaments. Competitors are required to wear almost entirely white (“White does not include off white or cream,” they clarify on their website). But that isn’t stopping the likes of Coco Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti, both of whom made strong fashion statements with their court-appropriate looks. Think exacting tenniscore, from the real deal.
Yesterday, Gauff hit the court in an ultra-feminine New Balance kit—a pleated kilt and a lace tank top embellished with 3D butterflies. No stone went unturned with her outfit, right down to the sweet, lettuce-trimmed socks that peeked out from her white and mint-green tennis shoes. Goff, fresh off her French Open title, lost the match to Ukrainian player Dayana Yastremska, but at least her kit got its moment in the sun.
